How to...

Post by NeoThermic » Tue, 19 2005 Apr 18:22:42

...shave a good 3 seconds off of a page load...

Use a cache. :D

My blogroll on the right is a rather dynamic one, as it reads the RSS feeds directly. This can cause problems though, as with each link, it requires a connection to read the RSS, then parse it, etc. With six links on the blogroll, an average pageload was pushing three seconds. Yipes!

So I've finally added a cache, so the blogroll can update just once an hour. This takes pageload times from nearly 3 seconds down to a tiny 0.003 seconds. How's that for efficency?

Bah I say to you, bah! And you still haven't added me to your blogroll. ^_^ Which reminds me, Paul's blogroll isn't updated probably because blogspot's RSS is borked. Anywho. I'll be moving hopefully soon. ^_^ EoR (End of Randomness)
